10 . For 300 years, the Slims River had been flowing through Canada’s Yukon region. But last year, in only four days, the water in the big river reduced sharply, which made the river almost disappear. What happened?

After a year of careful studies, a group of scientists recently said that the sudden change of the river was caused by climate change. The Slims River used to be a big river, reaching up to 150 metres at its widest points. It carried melt water from the huge Kaskawulsh glacier(冰川) into the Kluane River, then into the Yukon River toward the Bering Sea.

But in spring 2016, there was a sharp melting of the Kaskawulsh glacier because of climate change. It made the melt water run in a different direction, and into a second river, the Alsek River, then into the Gulf of Alaska. It is thousands of kilometers away.

In geography, this is called “river piracy”. Although it was not unusual in ancient times, this is the first time it has happened under scientists’ noses in modern times. The Slims River is almost dry now, which also takes away the clean air in the region because strong wind blows up all the dust in the river bed. Fish have already swum to other rivers. And sheep from Kluane National Park are now coming down to eat the fresh plants.

Lonnie Thompson, a scientist from Ohio State University, the US, said that we could hardly feel the effects of climate change in our daily life, but the case of the Slims River shows what will happen when gradual temperature increases.

1. Why did the Slims River almost disappear?

A．Because the air pollution brought more rain to Yukon region.

B．Because the climate suddenly became hotter than before.

C．Because the human activities destroyed the banks of the river.

D．Because the Kaskawulsh glacier did not exist any longer.

2. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A．The Slims River has now become part of Kluane National Park.

B．The air in the region of the Sli ms Ri ver is still clean.

C．Climate change has no effect on our daily life.

D．Global warming can bring sudden changes to the environment.

3. In which direction did the water run in 2016?
① the Kaskawulsh glacier        ② the Gulf of Alaska
③ the Yukon River              ④ the Alsek River
⑤ the Bering Sea              ⑥ the Kluane River

A．①→④→②	B．①→③→⑤
C．③→⑥→⑤	D．⑥→③→②

4. What may the underlined part “river piracy” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．A river suddenly disappears without any reason.

B．Two rivers join together to make a bigger one.

C．The flow of a river is suddenly taken away into another.

D．The water in a river reduces sharply.
